About us
Our design and construction processes are based on vernacular architecture, departing from a material understanding and a recognition of the wisdom that lies in tapia pisada traditions and mastery of this technique.
At REC we apply this knowledge and bioclimatic strategies to create healthy spaces that enhance the human experience and improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
Twenty years of experience in the field in conjunction with research and investigation in rammed earth construction techniques have allowed us to develop higher-efficiency techniques that improve processes and develop a finished product which achieves levels of durability and precision that are unmatched.
REC employs unique soil identification and granulometry methods, which in unison with our refined formwork systems and compaction techniques result in the most lasting, precise and engaging structures available worldwide.
These innovations allow our built work to enhance the expressive quality of earth, highlighting its raw texture and authenticity. Our work embraces the tactile allure of rammed earth to transform soil into timeless, refined and authentic refuge.
We strive to create an architecture that celebrates material and craft, while aligning with the demands of this generation and those to come.
